A huge swimming pool with great facilities. Love that there is more than one pool too. Has that chlorine smell though...of course. There is room to move and lots of space to lay your towel outside. You never feel crowded.

Love this pool. It's huge. The facilities are pretty clean, but what you'd expect. Lots of room to put your things and chill out. Can be a pretty warm outside the pool in summer as it's indoors. Very deep at the end, which I love.

With a little pool suitable for little people, this place offers good lessons and water safety for babies, toddlers and young children. It's really hot outside the pool and it can get stifling on a warm day. The teaching staff can be a bit assertive with the kids and can occasionally appear pretty forceful, but I guess, when it comes to kids' safety, you have to be.

The staff here are always really helpful. They give you good advice and have a range of products for your security needs. Lots of safes. Good location too. I've always heard positive things from other customers also. Quick to help you with whatever you need.

This review is for Mutts Without Matts, Woori Yallock VIC

We've been getting our insane Labradoor x Scottish Terrier x Maniac groomed with Mutts without Matts since he was a pup. He's an absolute handful and a complete pain in the neck for the poor groomer, but he's really patient and does a great job at handling him. Our spoodle is a delight to groom, and he gets equally great treatment. You get a full hydrobath, nail clipping and a good thorough trim for your money. The groomer is a friendly guy and gets straight to work. He just needs a water connection and he's away in his quirky little van. The dogs feel a million bucks after their treatment and it costs next to nothing! Very reasonable and the best part is that he comes to you. No mess, no fuss and you don't have to do anything but laugh at your pup as he gets his hair chopped.

Approximate cost: $45+

They've got a huge range of everything, really! Lots of reptiles and the staff know what they're talking about. I don't condone purchasing dogs/cats from pet shops as you never know where they've come from, so I can't talk from experience here. It's a good place for lots of accessories though.

Approximate cost: $5+

A substantial menu at a good price. We've never been unhappy with our meal here. You get a decent sized serve and it's always pretty tasty. Has a nice country atmosphere too. Very old style country pub.

Approximate cost: $15+

Very average meals and its really dark and dingy at night. They do have a lovely view of the Woori Yallock hills though. The desserts are better than the mains.

This review is for Paris Nails, Chirnside Park VIC

Woah! The smell. This place reaks of nail polish remover. Hold your breath and don't go near any naked flames for a while! They do a nice gel nail set. I always go for the french manicure. They last a few weeks and the quality is good. They're a bit artificial looking, as you'd expect. The girls are friendly enough, but it's a bit like your typical nail shop...conveyor belt, get you in and out. As they have limited English it's really hard to understand what you're supposed to do next, do I stay here under the nail heater or do I get up and leave. Noone tells you where you're meant to go next and they look at you a bit funny if you don't work it out. Oh well! They do nice nails for what you'd expect to pay. They do fit you in at a minutes notice but what I don't like is that they don't speak English much and tend to chat to each other. Have you ever seen that episode of Seinfeld when Elaine gets her nails done at a similar salon and feels like they're talking about her. It's sort of like that...but I don't quite get the same paranoia. I think they're just chatting, but it's a bit off putting.

Approximate cost: $50+
